We don’t know who he is or when he’ll be gracing our screens, but all systems are go for filming of the 2016 Bachelor Australia.
Host Osher Gunsberg revealed a selection of wardrobe options late last week for the mystery man, before quickly deleting the picture from instagram.
For those hoping, Queensland hunk Michael Turnbull would get a chance at dating show redemption, the tattooed former soccer player revealed today that it would not be him.
Michael let slip that it might not be Australia’s favourite Ropes Access Technician Richie Strahan either, although the blonde, part-time model is yet to confirm or deny the rumours.
Richie was Sam Frost’s choice for the coveted role, after she ceremoniously booted him off The Bachelorette and flew away to New Zealand with Michael and Sasha.
Sam is meanwhile besotted with new beau Sasha with the pair reportedly planning on moving in together sometime this year.
Unlike international versions of the show, The Bachelor franchise has had a high strike rate with all Bachelors going on to find long term partners from the show. Even unlucky in love plumber Dave from the Bachelorette found love with Season 1 contestant, florist Sarah Mae Amey, after being set up by mutual friends Sam and Sasha.

Judging from previous years the Bachelor is likely to:
Be well-off financially, possibly even running his own business.
Reach at least 6ft tall with strapping broad shoulders.
Choose a girl who is independent, strong-minded and the perfect combination of brains and beauty.
And most importantly, enjoy taking long walks along the beach, shirtless.
In previous years, the Bachelor was filmed in Sydney’s Hunters Hill with contestants, being flown all over the country in a quest for love and being swept off their feet, although a new production company has taken over the show this year, change as well as love, might be in the air.
